I have an Emerson 32" model # LE320EM3 Serial# DS1A122810Z669 that after a power outage will not come on. I checked the 4 amp 125 volt fuse and it was blown. Replaced the fuse and still nothing, no standby red light. I bought the TV from a friend and have no clue of it is a LCD, LED or what type of TV it is, there is no markings that say what it is. Any ideas???
Try looking at the board for any capacitors that are bulging on the top or leaking on the top. Also look for any spots that look burnt or blackend. If all that is good, inspect each component closely to see if any of them are broken or burnt. Also smell the board (Weird I know) but you should be able to smell something burnt or odd smelling (Unless you can’t smell) that should help give you an indicator of whats wrong. Also, did you replace it with a 4A 125V Fuse? Or one with different values? Hope this helps and good luck fixing!
Replace the power board and you should be good to go. They’re inexpensive and easy to find; check shopjimmy or eBay, for starters. I’ve had three of these Emerson models do the same thing to two different owners in the past few years but all were repaired for less than $40. Best of luck!
